When you’re craving comfort food, homemade chicken used be the answer, but gone are those days now that you’re following keto/low carb way of eating. Not True!! I will rephrase myself…..

If you’re craving comfort food, perhaps a homemade chicken pot pie, then you’ve come to the right page. My recipe uses a buttery, flakey crust layered with a creamy delicious mixture of chicken, mushrooms, onions, peppers, celery stalks, and very small amount of peas and carrots. (totally optional, you can skip them if you’re strict keto).

This recipe is a part of my challenge I have put on my facebook page. I tried making it the traditional way but first of all the bottom crust becomes soggy, even after precooking it. Second, the carb count goes higher as well. It worked well with leaving the filling in the cast iron skillet and topping with the crust. So Tawni Darling here’s the recipe you requested, hope it satisfies you!

I know the title of this post reads Chicken Pot Pie, but you can make it into a Turkey Pot Pie as well. Soon we will all have leftover Thanksgiving turkey in our fridge to use up!  This chicken pot pie recipe works great with chicken or turkey and why not put that turkey to good use by making a delicious pot pie for dinner?

Chicken pot pie is the best kind of comfort food ever existed!
